The EUHA Sponsorship Awards 2025 were presented at the 69th Congress of the European Union of Hearing Aid Acousticians (EUHA) in Nuremberg. Third prize went to Chen Xu, early-career researcher at the University of Oldenburg in the Hearing4all Cluster of Excellence. The jury honored Xu’s doctoral thesis, “Crucial Elements of a Virtual Hearing Clinic on Mobile Devices: Psychophysics, Diagnostic Parameter Estimation, and Validation.” In addition to prize money of €1,000, the award gives Xu the opportunity to present his research at the EUHA Congress, in a specialist journal, and on the EUHA website.

In his dissertation, Xu investigated key elements of the “Virtual Hearing Clinic” – a central concept of the Hearing4all Cluster of Excellence, which aims to create low-threshold access to hearing diagnostics and rehabilitation using mobile devices.
